la t'aver el Niuraju.
Washington, June 12. Shortly after
the enU convened yeterday couniil-
eration of the naval appropriation bill
waa resumed, the pending amendment
being that providing (or the coimtruc
tion of two first-clana battleships, two
flrt-clana armored cruiht'rn and two
gunboat, l'erkius, a member of the
cuininittee on naval affair, argued that
aoiiie of the vcanela ought to be con
structed at government navy yards, and
lie urged that the admirably equipped
naval yards ought to be utilixed. Hub
lii'y, lie said, was demanded by the
labor union.
Piatt, of Connecticut, alted if this
waa a demand or a reijuet 011 the part
of the labor union.
"I mean that it la a request," re
plied Peiklns. "They maintain that
it I to thu interest of the government
that the navy yard, belonging to the
people, should be utilized for building
war vessel.
Perkins maintained that the in-
creancd coat of construction In govern
ment yarda, on account of tlie eight
hour law, waa more than offset by the
immense salaries paid the management
in private yard. In his opinion the
government could be protected Irom
exctmsive cost cf ships by tlie utuiia-
tion of the advantage of government
yard.
At the conclusion ot rei tins' speecn,
without further comment, the commit
tee amondnient as to the building of
two each of battleships, cniixors and
triiitluualH win airraml to. Without fur-
nomea. . - 1 ti,, ii,M 1,111 Duid.

The convicts, who are professional
criminals of the most dangerous type,
had secured rifles and revolvers Sat
urday or Sunday, probably from some
confederate previously released from
the Penitentiary who had smuggled
the weapons ln. The men working in
the stove foundry, among whom were
Tracy and Merrill, had just been
marched in from the chapel and were
about to report to work to Ferrell,
when Frank Girard, another guard,
heard a rifle shot, and, looking quick
ly In the direction from which It
came, saw Ferrell dead and the two
thugs, both armed with new rifles,
approaching him. Girard, like . all
shop guards, was unarmed, and he in'
stantly took to flight, running for his
life down the center aisle ot the build
ing, while his pursuers gained on
htm at every step. Suddenly Frank
Inghram, a life prisoner from Linn
county, seeing the peril in which the
guard waa placed, stepped out and
endeavored to stop the highwaymen,
I Tracy stopped long enough to fire
shot at him.
Before reaching the yard Tracy and
Merrill again brought their murder
ous rides into play. First tney rid
died the extreme southwest and
northwest guard posts, but fortunately
did not kill a man. Then, with
single shot at a distance ot 150 yards,
one of them brought down Jones, who
was on the wall in charge of the north
post. As the guard fell dead they
turned and took several shots at Tif
fany and Ross, guards on the north
wall.
Then, believing that they had suffl
clently cowed their keepers, they
coolly proceeded to take a ladder from
one ot the shop buildings, placed
against the east wall and mounted It

mote parts of the wall flew thick
